The Lord will not suffer the wicked to goe scotfree and vnpunished for so it standeth with his iustice and yet he is slow to anger and such a one as is sorie for our offences We haue many excamples in the scripture how hee meeteth with all sorts of sinners yea the Lord spared not our grand parents Adam and Eue but for their offences he banished then out of Eden which was a most fruitfull and delightfull place and also inflicted a grieuous punishment vpon them first saying to the woman I will greatly increase thy sorrowes and thy conceptions In sorrow shalt thou bring forth thy children Gen. 3. and thy desire shal be subiect to thy husband and he shall rule ouer thee Also vnto Adam he said Because thou hast obeyed the voyce of thy wife and hast eaten of the tree whereof I commaunded thee saying thou shalt not eate of it cursed is the earth for thy sake c. And further he saith In the sweat of thy face thou shalt eate bread till thou returne to the earth Gen. 7. For sinne the old worlde was destroyed with the flood Gen. 18.
